Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Biochar in bamboo forest soil gave the highest flavonoid concentration, exceeding the vegetable control by 35%.
- Intervention effect Biochar raised soil pH to 5.61 in acidic forest soil.
- Intervention effect Biochar boosted leucine aminopeptidase by 159% in vegetable field soil.
- Association Biochar acted indirectly on flavonoid-related outcomes, with an indirect effect of 0.88.
- Mechanism Soil extracellular enzymes mediate between soil conditions and plant biosynthetic enzymes PAL, CHS and CHI.
- Association Fungal composition was positively associated with flavonoid biosynthesis, particularly Mortierellomycetes.
- Association Bacterial diversity was negatively correlated with biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Biochar disrupted Eurotiomycetes dominance in forest soils, from 85% to 39%.
- Association Functionally diverse niches were associated with enhanced flavonoid accumulation.
- Recommendation Biochar offers a sustainable strategy for high-quality medicinal plant production.
